Mobile awards 2016

The uSwitch Mobile Awards celebrate the UK's very best mobile phone networks, retailers and manufacturers.

The awards recognise businesses that have delivered excellent products and services over the past 12 months, with award categories covering network of the year, retailer of the year, customer satisfaction and phone of the year.

About the awards:

In December 2015 uSwitch asked Censuswide to conduct customer satisfaction research amongst 5,000 mobile users in the UK. The research gave us a nationally representative view of all adults in GB which was used to select the winners of our consumer-voted awards.
